Editor, During these times of great stress and confusion, we are hearing and seeing much fear and hate being demonstrated. My spiritual teachings have taught me that each one of us has within us the power of God’s love available for access and action. When a situation presents itself to me where my immediate response is something negative like fear, anger or attack, that is my signal to access my God-given love. I don’t need to ask or beg for God’s help. That help has already been His gift to me. God does not make choices on this or that. As humans we make all the choices. God is not some sort of judge. Making judgments between right or wrong, good or bad, i...
Editor, I am pleased to voice my strong support for incumbent Linda Reksten for re-election to the Montana House of Representatives. Linda has proven to be a strong voice supporting her constituents. She has shown that she doesn’t live in the world of sound bites. Linda does the work and research...
Editor, Many Montanans will receive a property tax rebate of up to $675 after the sticker shock of this year’s increase in property taxes. This is a one-time solution to an ongoing problem in Montana - inequitable tax rates. As a result, an increasing percentage of the state’s revenue...
Editor, Senator Jon Tester has been a strong advocate for veterans, and for agricultural interests, both of which are important in Montana. There are few US Senators with understanding of rural agriculture, and Montana needs to maintain that voice. Tim Sheehy is a businessman, and has made a successful...

Editor, Our present lives as humans on earth are filled with increas- ing chaos, confusion about life, and our advanced methods of killing each other. This threatens our continuing human exis- tence on planet earth. There is a powerful answer to all this. It involves the power of the mind. We humans ha...
Editor, “The teaching profession contributes more to our society than any other single profession.” (John Wooden) Teachers work hard. If asked to do extra jobs, they may grumble, but they do them. They care about all students, listening to their concerns and advancing solutions. Teachers work ...
Editor, Obviously the Democrat calling Representative Reksten “Rubberstamp Reksten” has never reviewed the house votes. As a former member of the Montana House and Senate, I can attest that all Democrats rubberstamp. In fact, I was so shocked when first elected that I would attend Democrat cau...
Editor, As I read Bob McClellan’s letter to the editor, the adage “the pot calling the kettle black” came to mind. He came up with the term “Trumpism” to label anyone supporting President Trump. He said Trumpism is characterized by fear, anger, and self-centeredness. I wou...
Editor, This is our present three (3) party political system: Democratic, Republican, and what I term “Trumpism.” Trumpism was formed by Donald Trump’s presidency. It is ruled by fear, anger, and self-centeredness. Let’s call it FAS. These human tendencies are personal cho...
